Hello all- ** A few weeks ago (maybe more) another user posted an inquiry about the status of Callweaver development and the project as a whole. Unfortunately, I don't believe there were any replies of substance to the question. So, I'd like to pose the same inquiry...
What is the status of Callweaver? I see there has been progressive development, or at least recent 'changesets' [1] to the codebase(stopped Feb 14th, Valentines day related? :-) ), but a release has not been made since nearly a year ago. Checking the milestones [2], the project seems to be severely behind 'schedule'. While not a problem in and of itself, it would be nice to know what the roadblocks are to the project's development. Is it manpower, funding, equipment, etc? I primarily use Callweaver in a T.38 fax role as I believe many others do as well. The general 'rule' that appears to be floating around the VoIP/open source telephony arena is "If you need a softswitch PBX, use Asterisk unless you need good T.38 support integrated, then use Callweaver.". Well, with Asterisk 1.6 and heavy development of T.38 support/compatibility, it appears Callweaver may be falling into less and less relevance. While I understand there are more advantages[3] to Callweaver than simply T.38 (cross platform support, timing dependency changes, performance, virtualization operation), many others do not understand this. I'd really hate to see a project like Callweaver die or slip into 'unconsciousness'. On a final note (to the devs), please accept my gratitude and thanks for Callweaver. I use it extensively in my systems for both business, personal, and development roles and your hard work is appreciated. I am in no way trying to 'call you out' to get information on Callweaver. This is not a "where are the lazy guys who aren't getting anything done with Callweaver" type inquiry. I'm honestly looking for some insight into the current status and depending on project needs, I may be able to provide resources to help Callweaver along. --Tim ** - Crossposted to -users and -dev [1] http://www.callweaver.org/changesets [2] http://www.callweaver.org/milestones [3] http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/OpenPBX.org%20FAQ _______________________________________________ Callweaver-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.callweaver.org/mailman/listinfo/callweaver-dev
